[WE Knife] Riff-Raff Heimskringla Damasteel Damascus, Titanium

Description:

The WE Knife Riff-Raff is a high-quality EDC pocket knife designed by Matthew Christensen. Although the name 'Riff-Raff' might have some negative connotations, we think this pocket knife is very cool.

This version boasts Black Titanium and Heimskringla Damasteel. It has a bronze, black colorway with its blade length of 8 cm, this knife is ideal for easy carrying. When closed, it's only 10.7 cm long, and it weighs only 100 g.

You can easily open the Riff-Raff with one hand using the thumb stud. This knife is equipped with ceramic ball bearings, ensuring the knife runs smoothly. Once opened, the sturdy frame lock ensures that the blade is locked and won't unintentionally snap shut.

Blade made of Damasteel
The blade is made of Damasteel damascus. This material is truly something special. There are enough manufacturers who make good damascus steel, but the Swedish company Damasteel really takes it to the next level. This is because they use two powder steels for forging the damascus. Powder steels have a very fine grain structure at the microscopic level, ensuring they are harder and that they retain their sharpness for a longer time than conventional types of steel. Damasteel uses two powder steels, RWL34 and PMC27, forged together. Not only does it look incredibly cool, it also stays sharp for a long time and can take a beating. This steel also contains more than 13% chromium. This also makes it very corrosion resistant. Therefore, this steel is not just eye candy, it's also a fantastic practical choice!

Damasteel is based in Söderfors, Sweden. This town has been known for its steel production since 1676. Damasteel builds on this tradition, using state-of-the-art techniques and materials to bring that classic trade into the 21st century.

Titanium handle
The handle of the Riff-Raff is made of titanium and measures 10.7 cm in length. Titanium is a fantastic high-tech material. It is an excellent choice for the handle of a pocket knife for several reasons: titanium is very strong, lightweight and it is flexible. Moreover, titanium can be machined very precisely and a wide range of different finishes are possible. To be exact, the handle is made of a titanium alloy. Small amounts of aluminium and vanadium are added to pure titanium to make it even more suitable for use as a pocket knife handle.

Designer Matthew Christensen
Matthew Christensen from Illinois, USA, designed the Riff-Raff pocket knife, Matt Christensen design. Christensen started customizing knives on request, later on he started to make his own knives too. In 2012, he started doing it professionally. A characteristic feature of his design style is that there is something for everyone. Whether you prefer small or large, simple or complicated.
